Fundamental Rockhound Products: Treasure (Gem) Scoop Long handled, 42" Beachcombing, Shelling, Rockhounding, Rock Hunting Tool

All of us who have been rock hounding have had those occassions when you saw the rock you really wanted, but it was 4 feet beyond your ourstretched arm or two feet deep in a stream or in the midst of a thicket of cactus. This is the tool for you--strong, long, well shaped cup, has a little digging point on the bottom. It is a bit heavy, but you want strong as you are levering up a big rock. Perhaps a folding joint in the middle would be useful, but it might make it weaker than it ought to be, so it is pretty darn near perfect for the job intended.

I am an Agate hunter on Lake Superior (when I can get there). This tool is perfect for me and my rock-hunting friend. I went with the longer handle so I could get a few inches deeper into the lake if necessary. This item was shipped on time and was exactly as described.

Have used this a few times while walking the beaches looking for "interesting" things like shells and teeth. It is of sturdy construction and works well as a walking stick, scoop and scraper.Now I have to buy my wife one with the short (or normal length) handle.

I have owned one of these scoops for several years. When we go rock collecting, my wife always wanted me to share it. She now has her own, not sure which of us is happier. Great tool for picking up anything, especially rocks in places you don't want to put your hands.

Well designed and constructed, comfortable, lightweight, effective as walking stick, small rake or hoe, and retrieval scoop. Had only a couple months, so durability unknown, but appears comparable to Estwing quality. Much stronger than collapsible walking stick, but not much heavier.Delivery quicker than projected...couple days.

Perfect for getting that rock that is just out of reach!

Best tool I have ever purchased
